Chief Rabbi Under Police Protection

Denmark’s Chief Rabbi Bent Melchior has been under police protection since Saturday when he received an anonymous telephone call warning him his life was in danger. The warning came immediately after the radio broadcast his appeal to the Danish government to recall its ambassadors from Arab countries supporting Palestinian terrorists. Foreign Minister K.B, Andersen rejected today Rabbi Melchior’s suggestion. He said such a move would be wrong because “it would weaken our position in the Arab countries.”
